The Clinton Global Initiative has recognized Western Union for its major contributions to the well being of the migrant and poor communities of the world. Western Union has created a program they are calling “Our World, Our Family” and committed fifty million dollars to it. The object of the five year plan is to create opportunity and innovative solutions for improving economic know how and development.
Mercy Corps will be working with Western Union on the project that may eventually touch the lives of one tenth of all the people on earth. Mercy Corps CEO Neal Keny-Guyer says his organization is honored to be working with Western Union, and indirectly with the Clinton Global Initiative, to bring improved living conditions to the hundreds of millions of people at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
The President of The Western Union Foundation, Luella Chavez D’Angelo says, “We believe that migrants serve as an essential economic engine in the developed and developing world.. Investing in the global, mobile workforce can have an exponential impact on the hopes for prosperity for generations to come. Migrants are the unsung heroes of modern development, and we are proud to support them on their journey toward better lives.”
Former US President Bill Clinton created the CGI to promote greater health and prosperity throughout the world. The group has succeeded in bringing medical help to HIV victims in many parts of the world and this most recent partnership with Mercy Corps and Western Union is another development initiative of the organization.
Lycos Business wire says, “Established in 2005 as a project of the non-partisan William J. Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Since 2005, CGI members have made nearly 1,000 Commitments to Action valued at upwards of $30 billion to improve more than 200 million lives in over 150 countries around the world. Through past Annual Meetings, CGI has brought together more than 80 current and former heads of state, hundreds of top CEOs and non-profit leaders, major philanthropists, and 10 of the last 16 Nobel Peace Prize laureates.”

Amen..yet he is getting flak for NOT being all manic and batshit crazy over Obama. He knows if he jumps IN too far he inflames the RR and gets them even more determined to go AGAINST whatever he wants to happen.
Funny how Big Dog has maintained his amazing approval rating thru all the BS that he got himself into. Those were some earth shattering blow jobs! LOL
You have to understand that his
CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE
has been successful because it IS NON partisan. Brilliant also that much of the funding comes from FOUNDATIONS which are insulated against a bad economy. He is constrained by the greater good and must NOT risk losing funding and/or support by becoming overly involved in this shitstorm of campaigning rhetoric. He has always been calm and thoughtful and FAIR..none of which would be obvious to the casual observer and certainly not to anyone who watched FOX News for their perspective.
Kudos also to Western Union for its participation in these worthy causes.
If Bill Clinton is involved there is a buck in it for him. This sounds like a way to let illegals send money they got here back home to their own country. Western Union's business is in transfering money from one place to another quickly.
They are the ones with the guns, and the guts to use them..on Unitarians, children, minorities, helpless homeless, and even the able bodied if they happen to live on top of an oil field. DONALD, DONNIE, COLONEL GEORGE. If you are armed, please be advised that I will dial 9/11 only to get an ambulance or the paramedics.
The big downside of course is that if it weren't for the blow job spree Al Gore would have won the 2000 election by a big enough margin so the Republicans wouldn't have been able to steal it from him. With Al Gore we would not be in poop up to our ears today.
Bill Clinton set George Bush up for failure
